Transformers Prime: Beast Hunters Deluxe Wave 3 Listed on BBTS

I just got an email about TFP Beast Hunters Deluxe Wave 3 being listed on BBTS. The set includes Dreadwing, Ratchet and Storm Razor. Storm Razor? I had assumed that Skystalker would be the other figure included in this wave. I wonder if it's the same one.

Also, will this wave really only contain 3 figures instead of the 4 we've seen in waves 1 and 2?

:-?

Seems very interesting. They're supposed to be released in April, so hopefully we'll learn more in the next few weeks!

Maybe either Storm Razor or Skystalker was a preliminary name and they had to change one or the other at some point for some reason?

His name is Storm Razor in Walmart's system, courtesy of Ominous Prime-Evil.

I just checked and they have actually posted pictures now. It's definitely the same Predacon that was shown at Toy Fair and on the TF facebook page recently. BBTS has also already lowered the price some too.

Also, Beast Hunters Ratchet is looking more and more like Dinobot! He even has an almost identical weapon as Dinobot's spinning tail weapon from Beast Wars!

We already knew that. XD It just looks so terrible...it's like a teleporter accident spliced Dinobot/II and Ratchet together!

Are these physically a set, as in two toys in a box, or you need to buy them both from the store?

Either way, this is getting to be an expensive but pleasantly fun year for me. Fortunately, I'm able to save quite a bit from skipping the Beast Hunters line.

Glad I'm a frequent customer of my local hobby store; just have to text the owner and he'll reserve a set of these for me.

They're just in the same wave, not a set. :)

Thanks for the explanation! The title was kind of misleading. Seriously looking forward to adding these two to my display shelf, especially Springer.

Blitzwing/Springer pre-ordered. It's a damn shame when it's cheaper to buy figures online than to buy them in retail stores. Factoring in gas prices and the Pile of Loot feature, buying these from BBTS is cheaper than getting them from my local Wal-Mart. I might as well be living in BFE. Living in Miami used to be an advantage as I never needed to go online to buy Hasbro stuff. But now theres no savings in "hunting" these days.

They're supposed to be Scout/Commander size, as far as I remember. :-?
With the targetmasters around Legends/Legion size.

Just Pre-ordered thru TFS.

Its funny how I picked up grimlock and blaster at TRU for $55 and my order at TFS was about $57 incl shipping. Looks like preordering is the way to go these days with the high gas prices.

I cant wait for Springer!

I think the OP and BB figures are a little smaller than traditional Scouts/Commanders, and the smaller ones appear to be closer to Mini-con size than Legend/Legion size. Of course we're all just speculating since the pics don't provide any scale, but just judging by the simplicity of the smaller figures, they look more like Minicons than Legends, and the larger figures don't appear to have as much detail or articulation as Commanders/Scouts typically do.

Also, if these sets included a Commander-scale figure (typically $10) AND a Legion-scale figure (typically $6), they wouldn't be selling them for $10-$11 each. My guess is the larger figures are somewhere between Legend and Scout size and the smaller figures are Minicon size.

Yes, get these guys out.

I'm sick of waiting a year for each figure to become available.


Slight trivia. On the old G1 cartoon Blitzwing was the only one to recognize the Quintissons and now all his incarnations are face swappers themselves.

I preordered the Triplechangers. I want those badly enough that I'm willing to pay a few extra bucks and NOT willing to drive all over town hoping to find them.

I want the Generations Legends too, but I have a feeling they'll be easy to find in stores.

Preordered the triple changers as well. Toys R Us hasn't been reliable in ages. It's best to preorder figures you really want.
